Chelsea’s proposed signing of goalkeeper Mike Maignan from AC Milan has been cancelled due to disagreements over the transfer fee. The Premier League club considers Milan’s asking price of up to £18 million as inflated, dubbing it a ‘Club World Cup tax.’ Chelsea values Maignan at no more than £12.6 million and decided not to proceed with the deal. Football expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the breakdown and noted Chelsea’s confidence in their current goalkeepers for the role.
